So, just as a fun exercise - what would it take to remove the top 250m from Mount Everest, making it only the second highest mountain?

As part of the same fun exercise, also imagine what it would take to prevent K2 (which is currently the world's 2nd highest mountain) from becoming a pile of shit.

Deaths due to snowstorms. It's not know as killer mountain for nothing.

K2 is quite a bit more difficult to climb compared to Everest.

I doubt it would help, of the top 5 mountains, everest is second the easiest to climb.
